The Galaxy S8 is a fantastic phone. It has a powerful processor, expandable memory, and is durable against the elements. I only have to minor complaints about the phone.
1. It's super slippery. The phone is made completely of glass. There is no plastic backing or grip surface anywhere on the phone, so be prepared to buy a necessary case just so you can hold onto the phone.
2. The Bixby button. Bixby is the most useless personal assistant application among all phones. You will find yourself meaning to hit the power button, but wind up pressing the Bixby button (which is right across from the power button) on accident, which starts the Bixby app. While you can turn off access to the Bixby app when you swipe right on the phone, the app will always start when you click the hardwired Bixby button. There is no way to disable this button's functionality in the phone. The best solution I've come up with is to buy a case and pop out the case button that corresponds with the Bixby button so you cannot physically press it. With Bixby now 100% out of my life, the my experience with the phone is phenomenal! I highly recommend the phone!
